(Verse 1)
Miles stretch out like highway lines, between your sweet hello and mine.
Another sunrise here in town, while Carol's sleeping soundly down
A different road, a different sky, but in my thoughts, you're always nigh.
I check my phone a hundred times, just waiting for your morning chimes.
(Chorus)
Oh, Carol, across the land, you hold my heart within your hand.
Though I can't touch you, can't embrace, I feel your love in time and space.
These miles may test, they may feel long, but our connection's always strong.
For you, my dear, I'll always roam, until the day you're coming home.
(Verse 2)
We talk for hours on the screen, sharing moments in between.
A funny story, day's delight, your voice, a beacon in the night.
I picture you in all you do, the way you laugh, the way you move.
Each memory, a precious art, held closely in my hopeful heart.
(Chorus)
Oh, Carol, across the land, you hold my heart within your hand.
Though I can't touch you, can't embrace, I feel your love in time and space.
These miles may test, they may feel long, but our connection's always strong.
For you, my dear, I'll always roam, until the day you're coming home.
(Bridge)
Some folks say it's hard to keep, a love where oceans run so deep.
But every letter, every call, builds a bridge that won't fall.
We count the days until we meet, when our two separate worlds will greet.
(Chorus)
Oh, Carol, across the land, you hold my heart within your hand.
Though I can't touch you, can't embrace, I feel your love in time and space.
These miles may test, they may feel long, but our connection's always strong.
For you, my dear, I'll always roam, until the day you're coming home.
(Outro)
Soon enough, the miles will fade, and in your arms, my heart will wade.
Just hold on tight, my love, my light, my Carol shining ever bright.
